Diesel is a bit cheaper, unlike in the US.

Note. I asked Google for German gas prices in US dollars by the gallon.
AI over view had approximately half of your number.
Then I hit another search and their AI overview was about double your number.

This is not the first time I have found sketchy math in AI overviews. So be aware.
